What is the Shut Down Action?
The Shut Down Action stops the script, closes Nintex RPA LE then shuts down the workstation.
Creating a Shut Down Action
Select Computer
Actions 
to expand the Action list. Select the Shut Down
Action from the Actions list to display the
Action Builder.
Because Nintex RPA LE
will be closed when a Shut Down
Action is executed, you will need to choose one of the following options 
to handle
how the Botflow needs to be saved:
-
Save changes - The user will not be prompted and changes will be saved automatically.
-
Discard changes - The user will not be prompted and changes will be discarded automatically.
-
Prompt to save - The user will be prompted to save or discard the changes.
If the script is running for a record in a database,
you can ensure that the current record is marked before the Botflow is
closed by checking the option that reads: If
running records, mark the record before closing 
. (This
option is turned on by default).
It may be possible for other applications to be
running at the time Nintex RPA LE
attempts to shut down the workstation. In this scenario, each application
will be asked to close itself. Sometimes other applications will
not close when asked, or may prompt the user to save changes made in that
program. These such prompts may prevent the shut down from occurring.
The Force shut down option
give Nintex RPA LE
permission to close other applications forcefully. This means information
may be lost in those application but ensures the shut down will occur.
For convenience, the Only
shut down if running option 
can be selected. This will prevent the shut down from occurring
while writing or testing the Botflow. If this option is selected,
the shut down will only occur when the Botflow is run by clicking the
Run button on the Run Bar. If
this option is not selected,
the shut down will occur anytime the Shut
Down Action is executed. (This option is turned on
by default).
Optionally add Notes
to the Action to document any special instructions
or functionality. When the Run Switch
is set to Run, the action
will be executed after clicking OK.
Note: The run switch is set to Run by default. To create or modify this action without executing it, click the slider to change the option to Don't Run. For more information, go to Action Builder.
Click the OK
button 
to save the Action.
